[QUOTE="Lord Pendragon, post: 1889087, member: 707"] How exactly do they take action to prevent an encounter? The dragon is too fast to run away from, too sharp-eyed to hide from, too acute of hearing to sneak past. Basically, if you're in its general area, there's a far better chance of it finding you, than you find it in time to run away. The only thing I can think of to "prevent an encounter" is to simply not travel in the forest, something which, I'm assuming, is rarely feasible as there was probably a pressing reason to be in the forest in the first place.If it isn't obvious what lives there, then the information is worthless. Unless you are willing to metagame to the point of saying, "well, the DM wouldn't be telling us about all these claw-marked trees unless he was trying to warn us of impending danger." At which point, you're breaking believability far more than if you'd just not put in the inappropriate encounter to begin with, IMO. [/QUOTE]
